I was reminded today, while wallowing in the shame of a deeply personal quandary, when these words came to me:

Grateful is what I strive for. Each day is a gift. Acknowledge it.

Then, I said to a friend of mine, whom I have come to share my personal thoughts and found a profound respect for. She then told me about how today she made a decision to get off her “a$$” and go the gym.

As I reflect on this day, I am grateful that I have such moments in a world where she says:

“Most days all we want is for time to pass or pass time. . . But we forget that its time from our life”

So take that thought further and let it spur you into acting or thinking about something worth doing than just BEING.
